New Leaf Dog Rescue

Adele came into the shelter raising her litter of puppies and graciously welcomed the help of the rescuers. She appears to be a labrador mix and has many characteristics of a retriever. She is generally a very happy and friendly dog but can be a little bouncy. She gets along well with the other dogs at the shelter and is looking for a home that can take her for lots of exercise, and work on some basic training with her. She is very food motivated and is sure to be a quick study.

Can live with: Experienced Single FemaleI am a cuddle bunny when I am a good boy.I am not reactive to other dogs and can be lovely to walk.I need someone around most of the time and a garden to play in and sunbathe.I need an experienced owner who is understanding, patient and can help me work through my issues.My favourite thing to do is to fetch a ball and also to dig a hole for it after I have finished running.Not suitable to live with children"Alan is a lovely dog 90% of the time. He is a personal favourite of Jane's and Carolyn's, but he does have issues so he may, unfortunately, have to be one of our resident dogs if we cannot find the right owner. Alan is happy here at Maxi's Mates and we love him to bits!"

Superdogs Rescue

Hello, friends! My name is Amlet, and I’m a sweet‑natured, friendly black Labrador cross, around 7.5 years young. For the past three years I’ve been living at CyDRA shelter, patiently waiting for a forever home. Could it finally be with you?I might not love labels, but I do embrace one classic Labrador trait with pride: I absolutely love food! After what I’ve been through, I think I’ve earned it. I also love water—paddling in the sea, splashing in puddles, even a good hose‑down makes me wiggle with joy. And my favourite game is chasing my ball; I’m a keen fetch partner and will happily play until it’s time for cuddles and a nap.You see, I spent my entire life chained up, barely surviving on scraps of food and little water. Then one day, everything changed. A kind stranger saw me and contacted the vet services, who called in a rescue team. That’s how I finally got a chance at a better life—and moved into the shelter, where I learned what it means to be treated with love and respect.Because of my difficult past, I can be a little unsure around other dogs at first. With slow, gentle introductions, I warm up—and once I trust, I love deeply. I’ve happily shared my kennel with several female dog friends, and I do best in calm, respectful company.There’s still so much of life I haven’t experienced—exploring new walks, splashing on adventures, playing ball in the garden, and cuddles on the couch—but I’m ready to start now. I’m looking for a quiet, loving home where I can feel safe, relax, and show off my affectionate personality (and yes, my adorable fluffy tail).My ideal home:*Peaceful and patient, with time for gentle training and reassurance.*Either as an only dog or with a calm female companion.*Access to outdoor fun—water play and ball games are my happy place!I’m ready to pack my bags. Will you be the one to open your heart and welcome me home?

Safe Rescue For Dogs

Aramis is a medium sized black Labrador cross aged around seven years old. Isn’t yet cat tested but can be. Can live with or without other dogs. Respectful children 8plus Aramis has come into our care recently from a private shelter in Deva Romania. He was one of a litter of puppies abandoned at the shelter as an and has spent his life there until now. Aramis is a friemdly boy who loves people. He can be a little wary of new people initially but soon warms up to make friends. Despite the limitations of shelter life he’s a confident and cuddly boy who will be an easy addition to most homes. Aramis can live with or without other dogs and would be comfortable around respectful children aged eight plus.Aramis fostered Norwich Norfolk.Adoption Donation Fees are Puppies already neutered and all adult dogs: £430. Un-neutered puppies on spay/neuter contracts: £530 (You will receive a £100 rebate once you send us proof of neutering). Senior dogs (10+ years): £150–£250 (depending on age and individual needs).When you adopt a Safe Rescue dog, you MUST use a slip lead. This will keep your dog safe: your new dog will be nervous and will not trust you, and you will not know which situations might upset your dog. If your dog panics, then a slip lead is the only way to prevent your dog from escaping (many dogs can escape from a collar and/or harness). It will take AT LEAST 3-6 months for your dog to settle-in and for you to know your dog fully (longer for nervous dogs). The slip lead must ALWAYS be used during this settling-in period. Even after your dog is settled, it is safest to use the slip lead in situations where your dog may become scared (e.g. visiting new places, around unfamiliar people, at the vet), and it situations where unexpected triggers might happen (e.g. around bonfire night). Nervous dogs may always need to wear a slip-lead as a back-up safety measure. The slip lead is a safety device and must NEVER be used as a training tool. Using the lead to apply pressure to the dog’s neck is damaging. If your dog pulls on the lead, then we can advise you on training methods that avoid harm. Once your dog is settled, you may want to consider using a harness (together with the slip lead) if your dog is comfortable with being handled when it is fitted. Most harnesses are not escape-proof, but harnesses with a strap behind the ribcage (e.g. Ruffwear Webmaster or Perfect Fit Harnesses) are safer. Retractable / extendable leads must never be used on our dogs. Adopted dogs must be collected from the rescue and transported straight home in a secure metal crate. Fences and gates must be 5foot minimum in height and secure.

Celandine Wood

Archie is a handsome 2-year-old Labrador with a huge personality, a love of life, and so much potential just waiting to be unlocked. Sadly, Archie came into our care after an incident in his previous home led to the heartbreaking decision to have him euthanised. Thankfully, he was given a second chance, and since arriving with us he has done nothing but prove how much he deserves it. We are happy to discuss the circumstances surrounding his surrender with genuinely interested applicants. Since joining us, Archie has become a firm favourite with our volunteers. He’s affectionate, friendly, and loves meeting people. Like many young Labradors, he approaches life with endless enthusiasm! He thrives when given clear boundaries, structure and consistency, and he’s looking for someone who will continue his training and help him become the very best version of himself. One thing we’ve been particularly impressed by is how well Archie behaves out and about. Our volunteers have taken him on trips to cafés, pet shops and other public places, where he has been an absolute superstar. He happily accepts attention from strangers, settles well, and even when reactive dogs or cats have passed by, he’s remained calm and simply carried on with his walk. One of our volunteers summed Archie up perfectly: “I’ve been walking Archie since the day he came in to us, and I can honestly say he’s never put a foot wrong with me. He can be super excited when he first comes out of the kennels, bouncing around like Tigger and mouthing the lead for the first minute, but if corrected he listens and settles straight away. He’s a typical Labrador—completely food mad (which is brilliant for training!), incredibly affectionate and a real lovable goofball. He loves his walks and if there’s a puddle, stream or any body of water nearby, he’s straight in! His dream day would definitely involve a trip to the beach. He’s quite strong on the lead at times and will benefit from some continued lead training, but he already knows how to sit, give a paw and has a lovely recall on a long line. He’s happy to play with other dogs but is equally content to ignore them and carry on walking when asked. I’ve taken him to cafés and pet shops, where he’s behaved brilliantly and enjoyed plenty of fuss from everyone he meets. He would make someone an incredibly fun, loyal and loving companion. Please give him the chance he deserves.” An active family who can provide plenty of exercise, enrichment and adventure. A home with another friendly dog could be considered, subject to successful introductions. Someone who’ll happily throw a ball… over and over again! Plenty of tasty treats to reward his training (he is a Labrador after all!). Archie isn’t looking for perfection—he’s looking for someone willing to invest in him. In return, you’ll gain an affectionate, fun-loving best friend who will make you laugh every single day. Could you be the person to give Archie the second chance he’s been waiting for? Everyone Meet Archie! Archie showing off his skills

Are you right for Asia?Meet Fern & Asia, a pawfect pair of young gorgeous girls looking for their forever home where they can continue life side by side. Having grown up together, these lovely girls share a really special bond and are looking for adopters who will cherish them both. Fern is wonderfully affectionate and doesn't take long to show her softer side, happily leaning in for cuddles and never saying no to a tasty treat - especially if there's a hot dog on offer! Asia is the more playful of the two and she could happily play a fun game of tug or fetch all afternoon. She loves bouncing around and having the zoomies but also has a sweet, affectionate side. Together they're a delight, content simply enjoying each other's company.Is Asia right for you?An adult-only home in a quiet residential area or small town would suit Fern & Asia best, where they can settle into a predictable routine without the noise of busy surroundings. As they can be worried by unfamiliar people and sometimes feel unsure around other dogs, they'll need to be the only pets in the home and have patient owners who understand that trust takes time and that introductions to visitors should be carefully managed. Both girls enjoy moderate exercise and are happy to hop in the car for countryside walks or trips to the beach, while Fern will benefit from confident handlers who can manage her enthusiasm on the lead!

Are you right for Bam?Bam is a handsome two-year-old Lab Cross Poodle with a loving nature and lots of potential. He is looking for a home with teenage children aged 16 years and over and would like to be the only dog in the household. Bam will need a home without cats or small furries, and care may be needed around livestock. Bam is housetrained, travels well in the car for shorter journeys, and can happily be left alone for a few hours at a time once this has been built up gradually. He could settle well into a reasonably busy household, although he can be a little shy around new visitors initially and appreciates being given time to get to know people at his own pace. To help him feel relaxed and confident, Bam will need access to quieter walking locations where he can enjoy his walks without encountering large numbers of dogs.Is Bam right for you?Bam is a bright, affectionate boy who forms strong bonds with the people he knows and trusts. Once you've become friends, he absolutely loves snuggles, spending time close to his people, and being part of family life. Although he can be reserved when meeting new people, Bam's playful side soon shines through. The quickest way to his heart is often through a tasty treat or a game of fetch! He loves chasing tennis balls, playing tug, and carrying around his favourite squeaky toys. Bam is a clever lad who enjoys learning and picks up training quickly. He already knows several cues, including sit, paw, and wait, and is always keen to show off his skills. Especially if cheese, chicken, or broccoli are on offer as a reward. At home, Bam is a settled and easy-going companion. He enjoys pottering around the garden, relaxing with his family, and happily taking himself off to bed when he's ready for some downtime. While he's not a fan of the hoover or particularly loud environments, he thrives in a home where he can enjoy a calm and predictable routine. Bam prefers quieter walking areas because he can feel worried when unfamiliar dogs come too close. He would benefit from adopters who are willing to continue helping him build positive associations and confidence around other dogs at a distance where he feels comfortable. With patience, understanding, and ongoing support, Bam has every opportunity to continue making progress. Our team will be on hand to provide advice and guidance to help him and his adopters succeed. For someone looking for a loyal, intelligent, and affectionate companion, Bam has so much to offer and is ready to become a much-loved member of the family.
